Questions On Discussing Swearing Fit Into The Context Of The Previous Verses

at 35. Judges are given authority and placed in their positions, by God, to rule over other humans; “[A]nd hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.” John 5:27 (King James). From a biblical worldview, I believe that the proper jurisdictional limits of civil government authority to enforce promises should be limited to contracts and promises that involve contracts concerning sales of goods, conveyances of real estate, and licenses of intellectual property. These contracts make up a large portion of all contracts. Id. at 44. These contracts should be enforced and fall under the governmental jurisdiction. Whereas, other promises or contracts, corresponding to gifts and promises between two parties that do not include contracts concerning sales of goods, conveyances of real estate, and licenses of intellectual property, should not be governed by the courts and judges. These contracts and promises, like the aforementioned ones, are made under God; however, they may not involve goods, real estate, and licenses of intellectual property and should not need the courts to govern them. These contracts and promises are made under God, and man should keep his word; “[T]hat which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou

James primarily constructs his argument on the basis of history. He describes in vivid detail the massacres of Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian Wars and the cruel practices of the Romans when they conquered Epirus. This highlights the brutality and irrationality of war. By bringing out the worst of human history, he can not only argue in favor of pacifism, but also point out that people “have to thank this cruel history” for the human capacity for heroism. In addition, he mentions the “earlier men” who would fight other groups, making way for martial tribes. The comparisons to ancient people allow him to contend that the love of glory and, by default, the love of

A fourth teaching of Jesus from chapter 5 verses 33-37 explains that you must not break oaths, and you must obey the vows that were made to the lord. But Jesus explains do not make vows and do not include the words heaven, earth, Jerusalem, and the phrase by my head. Just refer to an easy yes, I will, or no I will not, anything that is not one of those terms are evil.

Copy three important passages (minimum of 3 sentences each); and then respond to these passages. Why do you think they are important? How do they help the author create his purpose?

The author does not choose to swear anywhere else in the book, unless she's quoting other people swearing. So, when she swears in this scene, it makes the scene stand out from the rest of the book. She also doesn't quote herself saying something in this scene, instead she tells the reader directly what she said, "I told her to get the fuck off me and chill the fuck out." The swear

I will begin by confessing that I am a word nerd. Unfortunately, I cannot read biblical Hebrew or Aramaic, so I've often relied on pastors, authors, or bible commentaries to reveal to me the significance/hidden meaning of certain passages of scripture. Oftentimes, when viewed in context the meaning of a word or phrase can take on an entirely different connotation. My absolute favorite aspect of this bible is the way words and phrases are dissected, broken down into little bite sized pieces, in the notes. Thereby, describing how a word is being used (part of speech), how it was used in a similar way elsewhere in scripture, and/or how it is defined in context.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods, nor make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain; thou shalt have no other gods before me. With some hesitation: Thou shalt remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy. Pause. Then: Thou shalt honor thy father and mother. Thou shalt not bear false witness.”(Miller 67). When he said a commandment twice, Elizabeth, his wife says “Adultery John”(Miller

“Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all my

And Jesus called them hypocrites and said, “render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

The third area being discussed is the confusion expressed in “The Whipping” by the child running from his mother who is trying to give him a whipping. The child is being chased uncontrollably like an animal in the woods as stated in the second stanza:

In James's time, it was a period where one of the most corrupt presidents of the century was in power and had high authority; Georges W. Bush. This resulted in the utter absence of spirituality and lead to brainwashing peoples' minds with false values and objectives/priorities. James lived in a rural middle class occupied area near Birmingham, Alabama. Life at the time was almost much about surviving, building careers, and taking care of meaningless responsibilities, very much comparable to today. Anyhow, life was often perceived as being very difficult and to have a normal secular life was perceived as too hard because everyone was so busy with competing against each other, trying to be better than the other and thinking that's all there is

“I swear fidelity to the Jewish army, and obedience to its leaders, may my people live again may Eretz-Israel be reborn”

Isaiah 45:23 -- Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear (Prophecy).

(Joh 12:49) For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

The woman that is weeping and railing is being forced into sexual actions. The “meat Men toss into a muslin cage” is referring to a penis hidden by cloth. “To make their spineless doxy bleat” refers to men engaging in rough sexual activity with a “doxy” or promiscuous woman. “Bleat” means to scream and rail, the man that is forcing this woman into sexual activity has caused other woman to scream in pain. The entire 1st stanza is characterizing men as harsh forcing women into sexual activity.
